4 Earthquake test specificationIf earthquake conditions are specified by the customer, the earthquake test requirements stated below shall be applied.

The test specification is applicable to classes 3.1 to 3.5.

4.1 Vibration response investigationA preliminary vibration response investigation shall be carried out to determine the lowest resonant frequency of the mountedtest specimen.

The vibration response investigation can be carried out by means of sine sweep testing or random testing.

When using the sine sweep testing, the vibration response investigation shall be carried out as specified in IEC 60068-2-6 [2](test Fc), with the following parameter severities:

Frequency range: 1 Hz to 35 HzVibration amplitude: 2 m/s2

Sweep rate: ≤ 1 octave/min

NOTE: The vibration amplitude may be reduced to 1 m/s2 or less in case of sharp resonances.

If a random test is used this shall be performed in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60068-2-64 [2], using the followingseverities:

Frequency range: 1 Hz to 20 Hz 20 Hz to 35 HzASD: 0,5 m2/s3 -3 dB/octave

Duration: 3 minutes

NOTE: The Acceleration Spectral Density (ASD) value may be reduced to 0,3 m2/s3 or less in case of sharp resonances.

The time-history stated in table 12 can be omitted if, after the vibration response investigation, the equipment does not exhibitany resonance below 5 Hz and has passed the sinusoidal vibration test reported in table 9 (class 3.4) or in table 11 (class 3.5)for class 3M5. This test is sufficient to prove compliance with earthquake conditions given in ETS 300 019-1-3 [1].

5 Notes to tables

5.1 General noteThe present document applies to the use of stationary equipment at weather protected locations covered by the environmentalconditions stated in ETS 300 019-1-3 [1].

The relevant test specification should specify when, during the environmental test programme, the equipment is in it’soperational state, and which performance requirements should be measured before, during and after the test, together with theappropriate pass/fail criteria.

5.2 Notes to Tables 1 to 12NOTE 1: (Air temperature, low)

The characteristic severity can be used as a cold start up temperature, but it may be modified by the product specification. Theequipment under test shall remain operational throughout this test, except for the cold start up test which shall commence oncelow temperature stability is achieved.

ETSI

Draft EN 300 019-2-3 V2.1.1 (1999-04)26

NOTE 2: (Air temperature, high)

If two test temperatures are given, the lower test temperature applies if the equipment is protected against solar and heatradiation or the equipment is ventilated (natural or forced). The higher test temperature includes the heating effects of solarand/or heat radiation. The characteristic severity can be used as a high start up temperature, but it may be modified by theproduct specification. The equipment under test shall remain operational throughout this test, except for the high temperaturestart up test which shall commence once high temperature stability is achieved.

NOTE 3: (Air temperature, change)

The change of temperature test is normally used to check design tolerancing. IEC 60068-2-14 [2] Test Nb is recommended. Forchange of temperature of 0,5 °C /min, the cooling gradient may be reduced to 0,2 °C /min where test chamber restrictionspreclude a gradient of 0,5 °C /min.

NOTE 4:

There is no IEC 60068-2 [2] test method for this parameter.

NOTE 5: (Humidity, relative, high)

IEC 60068-2-56 [2] Test Cb is recommended with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.

NOTE 6: (Condensation)

IEC 60068-2-30 [2] Test Db is recommended with test values not higher than climatogram limits for this class.

NOTE 7: (Humidity, absolute, high)

This effect is considered to be partly included in the damp heat test IEC 60068-2-56 [2] Test Cb.

NOTE 8: (Air pressure, low and high)

No test is recommended for normal applications, because the effect of air pressure is evaluated at the component level.

NOTE 9: (Water, rain,)

The effect of wind driven rain outside to the equipment in the weatherprotected or partly weatherprotected locations is includedin IEC 60068-2-30 [2] Test Db. No test is recommended.

NOTE 10: (Radiation, solar)

The higher test temperature as described in Note 2. includes the heating effect of solar radiation. Photochemical tests can bemade separately for components and materials.

NOTE 11: (Radiation, heat)

The higher test temperature as described in Note 2. includes the heating effect.

NOTE 12: (Chemically active substances)

The characteristic severities are given as mean/maximum values. These severities should be considered when designing theequipment and when choosing components and materials. No test is recommended in this standard.

NOTE 13: (Mechanically active substances)

The characteristic severities are much lower than lowest test severity in IEC 60068-2-68 [2] Test L and therefore no test isrecommended. This condition should be considered when designing the equipment and when choosing components andmaterials.

NOTE 14: (Flora, fauna)

The characteristic severity should be considered when choosing components and materials.

ETSI

Draft EN 300 019-2-3 V2.1.1 (1999-04)27

NOTE 15: (Vibration, sinusoidal)

No test is recommended as the characteristic severities represent insignificant levels of vibration. The severities are given aspeak values.

NOTE 16: (Vibration, sinusoidal)

The severities are given as peak values. The characteristic severity given is considered to be too severe for this class. Testseverity values not specified in IEC 60068-2 [2]. Equipment under test shall be mounted in the "in-use" position. Theequipment function shall be monitored throughout the test.

NOTE 17: (Vibration, random)

ASD (Acceleration Spectral Density) random vibration testing method may be used instead of the sinusoidal vibration test. Thetest severity values are not specified in IEC 60068-2 [2]. The maximum test frequency has been reduced because between 100Hz and 200 Hz the contribution is insignificant.

Equipment under test shall be mounted in the "in-use" position. The equipment function shall be monitored throughout the test.

NOTE 18: (Shocks)

The values for test severity are not specified in IEC 60068-2 [2]. The severities are given as peak values. The energy contentand the SRS of the shock given as test severity have been considered more appropriate than that given by the characteristicseverity.

Equipment under test shall be mounted in the "in-use" position. The equipment function shall be monitored throughout the test.

NOTE 19: (Environmental parameter)

In this table two IEC 60721-3-3 [4] classes are given, Class 3M3 may be chosen for equipment to be installed in locationswhere the mechanical conditions are equivalent to those given for partly- and not-temperature controlled locations or where theprobability of high mechanical stresses are rare. In all other cases IEC 60721-3-3 [4] class 3M5 should be used.

NOTE 20: (Earthquake)

RRS (Required Response Spectrum). ZPA (Zero Period Acceleration).

Equipment under test shall be mounted in the "in use" position. The testing configuration shall be worst case in terms of weightand stiffness. The influence of connections, piping, cables, etc. shall be taken into account when mounting the specimen. Thenormal "in service" mounting structure of the specimen should be included in the test.

Single-axis excitation is recommended; simultaneous multi-axis excitation is also acceptable, but it is not recommended since,in general, multi-axis testing gives less reproducible test results.

The three testing axes can be reduced to two horizontal axes if the equipment, after the vibration response investigation in thevertical axis, does not exhibit any resonance below 20 Hz.

The strong part of the time-history should be at least 15 s. The duration of each time-history signal shall be 30 s. Onetime-history shall be applied along each axis.

Annex A (normative):Alternative climatic test method for class 3.1

A.1 DescriptionThis test method is an alternative to IEC 60068-2 [2] temperature and most humidity tests. It can also contain the cold start testgiven in the present document. The test uses a sequence which scans the characteristic conditions of the climatogram which isconstructed from test severities specified in the present document. It may be applied to all equipment being tested for climaticconformance with class 3.1 in ETS 300 019-1-3 [1].

A.2 ObjectivesTo provide a standard test method for determining the functionality of an equipment when it is tested in a variable climaticenvironment consisting of a simultaneous change in combined values of temperature and humidity.

The climatogram test takes into account the boundary climatic conditions which can affect equipment throughout Europe up toan altitude of 3 000 metres. The objective of the test is the evaluation of equipment resistibility performance and no attempt ismade to assess its reliability. This is why repairs are authorized during tests, provided that failures observed do notsystematically recur in the same climatic conditions.

A.3 Test apparatusThe test apparatus shall consist of a single test chamber that is able to reproduce the conditions described in this annex.

The dimensions of the chamber shall be in accordance with the criteria described in IEC 60068-2-56 [2].

NOTE: When climatic stabilization is specified, the time required will vary depending on the thermal mass of theequipment under test, its heat dissipation and the relative size of the test chamber.

For naturally ventilated equipment it is important that the air flow in the test chamber is controlled (less than 1 m/s) near theequipment under test in order to prevent undue influence on its ventilation system. This will allow components inside theequipment to reach their working temperature in relation to the ambient conditions of the chamber.

The test chamber is required to control the rate of change of temperature to a maximum of 0,5°C per minute and the rate ofchange of relative humidity to a maximum of 10 % per hour with the equipment in its operational state.

A.4 MethodologyThe traditional method used for climatic testing of equipment in order to demonstrate its resistibility is to use theIEC 60068-2 [2] tests (i.e. cold, dry heat, change of temperature and steady state damp heat). The severities of the tests arechosen to simulate the effects of the extreme climatic conditions of the class.

This annex describes an alternative test method which uses a sequence test following the characteristic conditions of theclimatogram figure A.1.

A.5 Pre-conditioningPre-conditioning is required for a minimum period of one hour after temperature stabilization within the equipment under theinitial condition 23°C / 50 % R.H. (i.e. point S on the climatogram of figure A.1).

The dimensions of the chamber shall be in accordance with the criteria described in IEC 60068-2-56 [2].

NOTE: When climatic stabilization is specified, the time required will vary depending on the thermal mass of theequipment under test, its heat dissipation and the relative size of the test chamber.

For naturally ventilated equipment it is important that the air flow in the test chamber is controlled (less than 1 m/s) near theequipment under test in order to prevent undue influence on its ventilation system. This will allow components inside theequipment to reach their working temperature in relation to the ambient conditions of the chamber.

The test chamber is required to control the rate of change of temperature to a maximum of 0,5°C per minute and the rate ofchange of relative humidity to a maximum of 10 % per hour with the equipment in its operational state.

B.4 MethodologyThe traditional method used for climatic testing of equipment in order to demonstrate its resistibility is to use theIEC 60068-2 [2] tests (i.e. cold, dry heat, change of temperature and steady state damp heat). The severities of the tests arechosen to simulate the effects of the extreme climatic conditions of the class.

This annex describes an alternative test method which uses a sequence test following the characteristic conditions of theclimatogram figure B.1.

C.1 DescriptionThis test method is an alternative to IEC 60068-2 [2] temperature and most humidity tests. It can contain also the cold start testgiven in the present document. The test uses a sequence which scans the characteristic conditions of the climatogram which isconstructed from test severities specified in the present document. It may be applied to all equipment being tested for climaticconformance with class 3.3 in ETS 300 019-1-3 [1].

NOTE: This test method is made complete with the condensation test (see table 6: Test specification T 3.3 - Test Db) andshould be carried out on the same test specimen.
